Lessons on protein structure from interleukin‐4: All disulfides are not created...
Vaz, Daniela C.; Rodrigues, J. Rui; Loureiro‐Ferreira, Nuno; Müller, Thomas D.; Sebald, Walter; Redfield, Christina; Brito, Rui M. M.Interleukin-4 (IL-4) is a hematopoietic cytokine composed by a four-helix bundle stabilized by an antiparallel beta-sheet and three disulfide bonds: Cys3-Cys127, Cys24-Cys65, and Cys46-Cys99. IL-4 is involved in several immune responses associated to infection, allergy, autoimmunity, and cancer. Besides its physiological relevance, IL-4 is often used as a “model” for protein design and engineering. Hence, to un...
